About the festival
Since its inception in 2001, the Flamingo Festival has grown into one of India’s premier eco-tourism events, attracting thousands of visitors from across the globe. Set against the scenic backdrop of Pulicat Lake and Nelapattu Bird Sanctuary, the festival offers a unique blend of nature, culture, and conservation.
Pulicat Lake
Pulicat Lake is the second largest brackish water lagoon in India spread over the two States of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. A paradise for birdwatchers, the Pulicat Lake Bird Sanctuary is home to many species of birds including flamingos, painted storks, egrets, grey pelicans, grey herons, pintails, black winged stilts, shovelers and terns. It is also one of the three important wetlands to attract North-East Monsoon rain clouds to Tamil Nadu in the month of October. It is also the site for the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, commonly known as Sriharikota Range.
Nelapattu
The birds sanctuary there is being celebrated in the form of “Flemingo” festival for 3 days in the month of February. Migratory birds of different species gather at the Lake from Octorber to March.
